With 'better' i was refering to the total amount of fees OP has to pay while using the same amount of UTXO's as input (compared to P2PKH).
Additionally segwit (bech32 and nested P2SH) are capable of being supported by the lightning network. Segwit is a requirement for a second layer solution at the current state.
As i said beforem it depends on your purposes. But about fee i must agree with you.
So IMO it is 'better'. Nore sure about the cons regarding segwit. Feel free to explain.
I'm not so good at Segwit understanding now, so i can't discuss its cons. But i very doubt that it has not any cons. So let us wait and see. I don't belong to segwit fanatics or haters, just looking with interest.
